It was cold outside, but there was still a lot of tourist. Fortunately the snow melted a week before Diana landed in the capital of France, the last thing she wanted was to deal with this white, useless stuff. When it got dark, Kika announced she had a great idea for a photo, but Diana had to take her coat off.

"I'm all about sacrificing myself for art, but I can't get ill before the show" Diana said, not sure if the idea was in fact as great as Kika presented it to be.

"Just give me a minute and you'll get dressed again. Trust me, I can make it in one shot and it's going to be gorgeous" Brunette convinced her. "And we'll go grab some hot chocolate right after, promise"

Diana decided just one minute wouldn't make much difference and agreed. Kika was right, the picture turned out amazing and it was so quick the blonde didn't even get cold.

"So, is there any progress with you and Charles? Are you talking at all?" Pierre asked when they were on their way to get hot chocolate

"So, is there any progress with you and Charles? Are you talking at all?" Pierre asked when they were on their way to get hot chocolate. Diana tried to avoid the topic for the whole two days, but there's no way she can steer clear from a question like that.

"No, not really, I haven't heard from him in a long time" Diana smiled and looked down. Pierre noticed her abashment and let go.

But that was a straight up lie. Diana and Charles texted every day and called each other in the evenings. For the last two days they had to give up texting because Pierre could've notice, but other than that they've been in touch all the time. They haven't seen each other personally since they left Madeira and Diana missed his presence, but she knew he had a lot of preparation to do for the upcoming season. He told her he spends a lot of time in Maranello on the simulator to figure out the right configuration for the car and also goes to the gym 2 times a day with Andrea.

After their kiss at the club and another one in the patio they agreed on taking things slow. They figured out it's going to be the best to let their relationship develop naturally and if their feelings won't pass with time they could start dating for real. For now they were just friends. Incredibly attracted to each other, but just friends.

When Diana was saying goodbye to Pierre and Kika, she couldn't express her gratitude for getting to see the city with such a great guide. Exploring new places was something she always loved to do and she was thankful Pierre took his time to show her around. Getting to know Kika was also great, Diana really liked her and was glad she made Pierre happy.

When she was closing the door to her room she got a text from her agent saying that he needs her to come for fitting and rehearsal at 7 in the morning. The show was only three days away and the anxiety was slowly kicking in. For now she just worked out more than normal and practiced walking, but with an actual rehearsal it all started to become real.

Diana couldn't sleep the night before the show. She was all nervous, it felt like her intestines were twisting around each other, her hands were shaking. She was tossing and turning in bed, even played some white noise, but nothing helped her fall asleep. She managed to nap for three hours, but when her alarm went off she was feeling worse then after heavy drinking.
